The Mystery of the Time Signal!
Chapter Two
Here'ssss KOOK!

"Well not totally naked, but so close it doesn't matter." Yusuke motions Suzie for refills.

"You know something Kurama." Hiei says low and calm.

"What Hiei?"

"I am enjoying this stake-out." Hiei smirks as a half naked girl slides down his leg and back up again.

"Yes, I see," Kurama looks over at the girl getting friendly with Hiei's thighs. "Maybe, a little to much." Smirk.

Yusuke downs drink number 4. "Hey Hiei how'd you get her to do that? Suzie, Hey Ssssuuuzzziiiieeee, Suzie Q, Suzie Muscle Bitch." Yusuke laughs at his own wit, because right now he IS the funniest man alive. "Suzie." He continues to annoy poor Suzie.

"What is it drool boy?" she stands a little taller and harder. Kinda pissed.

"Another." Yusuke shakes his empty glass. Kurama and Hiei have a good laugh at his expense.

"I'll give you one." Suzie warns as she stomps off.

"Hey Suzie......."

"Shut up kid, and drink this." Suzie hands him a cup of coffee. "Look boys." Suzie turns her anger towards Kurama and Hiei. "I don't know why you brought him. HE'S A PUP. This is where the big dogs play. You better get him out of here before the gang comes, they would have a lot of fun with a pup like him." She warns them.

"Fill his glass, he will be fine." Kurama gently lays his hand on hers as he moves closer. With a low sexy tone he continues. "I promise we will watch him."

"I warned you." Is all she says has she gives them another round.

"I would like," Hiei turns to see her eye to eye, "five S B shots."

Suzie looks a little surprised. "Are you sure?" Hiei nods a yes.

"Wow Hiei you're just an old bar hop from way back." Yusuke stutters.

"What do S and B stand for?" Kurama asks.

"Spirit Bomb." Hiei turns back to resume his viewing of all the naked ladies. "Where did they all go?" His mouth drops when he sees no naked women. "What the Hell?" Hiei's eyes twitch at the sight before him. "Their all in robes."

"Here you go Handsome." Hiei turns to see Suzie covered in a robe as well.

"What's with the robes." Hiei asks, as if offended that these women had the audacity to put clothes on.

"It is almost 4." Suzie starts to explain about the robes.

"SO." Yusuke rudely interrupts her.

"Kook..........." she starts again.

"Teheeee," Yusuke snickers. Suzie shoots him a dirty look so he grabs his whiskey and turns to watch all the robed up women. "This sucks."

"Anyway," Suzie tries it again. "She brings her nephew in from 4 till 6 when her sister picks him up. Her and the boss worked it out so she could come in at four. So now, we all have to Robe Up from 3:45 to 6:15. Why do you think it is so dead in here?"

"Nephew, how old is her nephew." Kurama asks.

"THROW THE ROBES AWAY!" Yusuke shouts.

"Four, I believe. Between you and I, I think the boss likes her more then res rest, if you know what I mean."

"COME ON LADIES...........PLEASE!"

"They are a couple?" Kurama inquirers, ignoring the pleas of his wounded friend.

"SKIN, CAN'T YOU SHOW A LITTLE SKIN?"

"Couple," Suzie giggles. "He wishes no one can break that girls chastity belt. If I was going to guess, I would guess she's still a virgin."

"I'M DIEING HERE........... PLEASE .........A FLASH.... JUST A FLASH."

Suzie points at the boy who has left heaven and fell strait to hell. "I would shut him up before she gets here, she will have his ass kicked out so fast. She is very protective of her nephew."

"Yusuke!" Hiei warns with a tone.

"Man, this sucks." Yusuke turns back to face the bar and downs drink number 5.

"Well boys anything else, I leave at 4, but don't be I wiI will be back at 6." She smiles at Hiei. "So handsome are you sharing this time?" Hiei slides one and it stops in front of Yusuke, he slides another that stops, without a spill, in front of Kurama. "This ones for you," Hiei hands Suzie a shot, witch leaves 2 for him.

Hiei holds one shot in the air and one cradled in his other hand. "TO.............."

"MUCSLE BITCH!" Yusuke downs his Sprit Bomb. Kurama nods a sweet sexy smile at Suzie raises his shot and drinks. Suzie and Hiei do the same. Suzie slaps her shot class upside down on the bar and smacks her lips. The guy's sit very still as a warm sensation comes over them filling them with over powering spirit energy. After a moment of intense tingling Yusuke lets out a deep breath. "What the hell was that?"

"You guys ok?" Suzie asks, as she stares at them. They look paralyzed.

"Fine." Hiei answers as he gets himself back in form. The other two start to snap out and gain control of their bodies again.

"OK Then," little eye roll from Suzie, "Well if your still here at 6, I will see you then. By the way here comes Kook." She points toward the door. The door swings open and in comes a girl about 21 with a 4 yr old toddler dangling from her hip, and on the other shoulder hangs a huge bag. The afternoon sun followed her in and shined brightly off her Strawberry Blond hair. Her hair was long and curly all pulled back into a thick ponytail.

"KOOK!" Everyone in Triple D yelled except for the three foreigners that sat motionless as Kook enters the building. A big guy follows in behind her, "BRONZY" Everyone yells again.

"Bronzy." Yusuke mutters. Snicker, snicker, "Bronzy, I mean really, where do these people get such names?"

Kook and Bronzy walk up to the bar talking to one another. She turns and gives Kurama, Yusuke and Hiei a stare down and ONE evil look. Then sits her nephew about four stools away from Hiei. "Be good," she starts pulling all kinds of shit out of the bag and throwing it on the bar. "Play with your toys," Still throwing shit on the bar. "Don't bother the customers." She stands with a huff because that danm bag sure holds a lot of shit. "I will bek ink in a minute." She turns and goes through a door that is behind the bar.

"Hey Boys, I'm Bronzy, whatcha drink'en?" Bronzy greets them.

"I want another one of those thingies we just had." Yusuke points at his empty shot glass.

"Yes, Five more S B's." Kurama willing to try another.

"Take it easy on those things." Hiei warns. Bronzy sits five shots in front of Kurama. Kurama passes one to Yusuke, he smirks and glances at Hiei out of the corner of his eye as he slides him ONLY one.

"I see you fox."

"For you." Kurama slides one to Bronzy. "So what shall we toast too?"

"MUSCLE BITCH!" Yusuke slams back his shot. Even Bronzy has to laugh at that as he downs his. Kurama and Hiei both watch his reaction has he drinks the shot. Yusuke sits with a huge smile of pleasure on his face as the rest of his body is paralyzed in time. Bronzy freezes for only a sec before he regains the use of his body. Kurama holds his two shots in the air nods a welcome to Bronzy then turns in his chair to watch the rest of the room, he didn't want Bronzy to see the affect the shots had on him.

Hiei turns in his seat also. "You know what that means."

"Yes." Kurama downs both his shots in one gulp and sits paralyzed for a little longer this time. The single shot Hiei did this time seemed to have little effect on him. Kurama gains control. "He is a demon."

"Who is? Hey are you two keeping secrets now." Yusuke butting in.

"Bronzy." Kurama waves him over. "Can we have another round of drinks?"

"Sure, What's your pleasure?" Bronzy asks. Kurama tells him what they are drinking and he runs off to fetch the next round.

"Yusuke, you do not look good." Kurama says worried.

"You're Green." Hiei states calm and cool.

"Yeah, I think I am going to the bathroom for a minute." Yusuke heads off to the john. "Don't touch my drink Hiei."

"HUMPH! Fool."

"Any thing else guys?" Bronzy serves their drinks.

"What is the kids name?" Kurama asks. "Why would someone bring a child in here?" trying to sound concerned.

"It's a safe time the boss makes sure of that. Kook has been bringing him in here for two yrs now every since her sister, moved back in town. That's Cess's kid, Jay Bird, is what Kook calls him."

"HEY JAY BIRD," Kook yells as she comes kicking through the swinging door with her hands full. "Here is Dinner, now eat up." She pushes the pile of toys and shit out of the way and moves a plate in front of him. "Your favorite. Mac and Cheese, ketchup on the side, and a hotdog deep fried not boiled." She ruffles the kid's hair. "And to top it off, Mountain Dew!" The little boy smiles in pleasure. "But DO NOT tell your mom."

"I won't Aunt Kook."

Kurama smiles and watches Kook and Jay Bird bond, a beautiful moment between a woman and a child that she loves very much. That is obvious. Kurama tuning out the voices and just watching their body language. "How enticing." He whispers low.

"Humph." Hiei's reaction.

"What did I miss?" Yusuke wobbles to the bar and downs drink number 6. "BAR KEEP ANOTHER I always wanted to say that" Yusuke laughs.

"HEY!" Jay Bird yells, and all three turn to look at him. "You better watch it........"

BOOM! The swinging door hit the wall. "Pudden, what is going on?" Bronzy stands back against the far wall as close as he can while Kook storms past him to get her hands on the little greasy guy with the loud mouth. She stops, turns and looks Yusuke right in the eyes. "What is your problem Pup, Do I need to put... you... out."

"Too Late." Jay Bird cautions.

"We didn't mean any harm, maybe we should get a table for now." Kurama stands and grabs his drink. "Come Yusuke we have troubled this lady enough."

"But, I........"

"Come!" Kurama commands. Yusuke motions to Bronzy that he is empty then follows Kurama to a table on the other side of the room.

A few minutes later, a waitress brings them both fresh drinks."Hey," Yusuke moves into whisper softly. "Can you just give us a little flash?"

The waitress looks over at Kook, who is giving the death glare, and then turns back to Yusuke. "Can't right now Honey, Sorry."

"SHIT!"

"Yusuke."

"What I can't help it." He relaxes in his chair with drink in hand. "This was turning out to be my favorite mission. BUT NO. They went and put clothes on." With that said, Yusuke downs drink number 7. Kurama sits and watches the door and tries to pick up if they are demon or not when they enter. So far, only a couple of old guys have wondered in. Hiei still sits at the bar staring at Kook and waiting for Bronzy to get him a fresh drink.

"Well Glare Boy," she snaps her head towards Hiei "Aren't you going to join your friends? It might be wise."

"No." Hiei does not move his stare. "I think they want to be left alone right now." Hiei snickers.

"Uhh, OH!" Her eyes widen as she realizes what he is saying. "Well don't start anything, just sit there and be a good boy alright."

"Alright." Hiei answers with a smile and a very sexy tone. Still not wavering his stare he catches a look into Kook' eyes. A light Hazel with twinkles of joy throughout.

"Alright then." Kook relaxes her tone gives a nod to Hiei and heads back to Jay Bird.

"Eat up now. I have some cleaning to do. I will be back to check on you. Pudden watch him." Bronzy nods a yes as she leaves through the swinging door.

"Pudden?" Hiei asks with a smirk.

"Yeah, well don't get cute, she's the only one that calls me that. She says I am like a bowl full of pudding sweet and filling." He smiles at the compliment.

"I see." Hiei turns to see Kurama and Yusuke. "Little tease ARE we Miss Kook." He holds his class in the air and nods at Kurama.

Kurama sits and examines the picture Botan gave him; he does the same motion back to Hiei and downs his shot. "She looks older in the picture."

"Maybe it's just a bad picture. Yusuke always has an answer.

"No, not even a bad picture could put that many years or that much weight on you. She looks about 35 in this picture. Something is wrong here; maybe it is the sister. We will have to wait and see."

"Time would go faster if they would get naked again." Yusuke smirks and shakes his empty class at the waitress.

"Yes, indeed it would." Kurama agrees.

"So," Jay Bird jumps from his stool and moves to the one beside Hiei.

"So What?" Hiei snarls.

"What's your name?"

"Hiei."

"I am Jacob. That crazy red head," Jay giggles. "That's what my mom calls her. But she is Aunt Kook to me."

"I see."

"She is really nice and FUN! She lets me do things mommy wont, like have pop and throw things in the house......."

"Jacob! Back to your seat." Kook barges through the door once again. "I can't see you through the window over here." She stands in font of the boy and points to where the big pile of shit still sits that she pulled from that stupid bag.

"Chill!" Hiei swings back around in his seat and smiles at Kook.

"Go away will ya?" she snaps.

"No." He steadily answers, as he looks her in the eyes.

"Yes."

"No." Calm, cool and sexy he sits.

"Fine." Kook runs around the bar, picks up Jay Bird, and carries him back to his proper seat. "Stay." The boy nods a yes. She goes back around the bar, struts her stuff right up to Hiei, and leans in close so the boy cannot hear her. "You better behave yourself or............."

"Or what you going to sick Pudden on me." Hiei smiles smugly.

"OH." She stomps and in a huff she turns to exit through the swinging doors. "JERK" she yells from the other side.

"Wow." Jay Bird looks at Hiei all wide eyed.

"What?"

"Your Good. She usually doesn't give up so fast."

Hiei smiles with pride.

"Well its 5:30, only 45 more minutes before I can see flesh again." Yusuke perks at the thought of women dancing around him.

"Put those Hormones in check." Hiei commands as he takes a seat beside Kurama. "Well?"

"Nothing, but I did notice something odd about the picture." Kurama slides the picture face down in front of Hiei. "She looks older in the picture."

Hiei picks up the picture. "Humph." He places the picture back in front of Kurama. "Kid says she is his Aunt, she has no kids of her own."

"Do you think they might have gotten the girls mixed up?" Yusuke joins the conversation since he has nothing better to do until the Ladies de-robe.

"Perhaps, but that boy has no Demon blood in him." ma pma points out.

"No!" Hiei confirms.

"You want to know what I think." Yusuke asks.

"NO!" Kurama and Hiei answer in unison.

"I think," Yusuke continues anyway, "we need a couple more S B shots. I LIKE those."

Kurama waves the waitress over and orders another round of drinks and six S B shots.

"You're not thinking of giving him two." Hiei warns.

"No." Kurama answers with a smirk. "Giving you three."

"What, I can handwo owo of them wimpy shots, bring'em on." Yusuke busts. The waitress returns and serves their order.

Kurama starts to pass out the shots giving himself two, Yusuke one and Hiei three. "If you can do them all at one time," Kurama sits back and looks at Hiei. "I will carry Yusuke home tonight..........."

"WHAT?"

Kurama continues ignoring Yusuke's outbursts. "If you DO not, then you must carry him."

"Deal." Hiei smiles and with one hand holds all three shot classes by the bottom and pores them strait down his throat. As he slams the glasses upside down on the table, he is paralyzed. He relaxes into it and smiles as he welcomes all the spirit energy into his tingling body. "Yes." He grunts has he regains movement in his body.

"Hey, how come I only get one?"

"Very nice." Kurama compliments, then raises his two shots and downs them.

"Hey, I want at least two!" Yusuke still complaining.

Kurama experience the same sensation and enjoys it.

"You guys sure are smacking me down today."

Hiei motions for another round of shots. "Will you stop whining."

"AUNT KOOK MOM JUST PULLED UP!" Jay bird yells to warn his Aunt.

Kurama and Hiei both look at the boy while Yusuke keeps an eye on the door.

"I'M COMING." Kook yells as she comes running through the swigging door and starts tossing all that shit, she pulled out less then two hours ago, back in the damn bag. "Don't just sit Monkey boy, HELP ME!"

The door opens and Cess enters the Triple D.

"SWEEEEEET!" Yusuke's mouth drops. "To bad she's not naked."

"MOMMY!"

"Well that's settled." Hiei snorts.

"Seems so." Kurama not breaking his stare from Cess. "They look nothing alike."

"I'll say," Yusuke downs drink number 8. "That redhead sure is ugly next to the blond."

"I see." Kurama drooling.

"O K, sis thanks Ie yoe you." Cess hugs Kook.

"I will see you guys in the morning." Kook hugs and kisses Jay Bird. "You be good for mommy."

"I will." He bounces off.

"Wait." Cess yells as she grabs his hand before he bounces to far. "Easy Bunny boy. Let's go." They wave their last goodbye to Kook and head out the door. As they pass Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke's table. Jay Bird gives them a big smile and wave.

"Bye Hiei." The door shuts behind them.

"Hiei made a friend, how sweet." Yusuke teases. "Nowk tok to business, these ladies will be naked again any moment." He smacks his hands together and starts rubbing them, while licking his lips.

"Down Boy." Kook brings them a round of S B. "you guys are sitting in my section, if you want another waitress you will have to move."

"Are you going to take your clothes off?" Kurama and Hiei shoot Yusuke a dirty look. "what? I had to ask."

"This table is fine." Hiei tells her.

"Well in that case," Kook sits her tray on the table then sits in the only free chair left at the table. She places two shoots in front of each one of them. "I know you wanted S and B, thi this is one of my favorites," she holds one shot class up and swirls it around looking at it through the light. "It's called, Soul Searcher, I call it tummy tingler. I like to start every floor shift with two of them." She looks at them and smiles. "CHEERS!" Kook downs one shot at a time.

"It's black." Yusuke points out.

Kook sits with her back stiff and her eyes shut as her arms hang in mid air. When the warm liqueur hits her soul she lets out a big sigh, smiles and opens her eyes. "YUMMMMMMMMMMM. Tummy Tingler." She pops out of the chair. "Well if you boys need anything just let me know. It will get crazy in here in a little while. I must get busy, so please just give a wave and shout if you need me."

"It's black."

"Shut up and drink it moron." Hiei downs both his. Kurama watches his reaction to make sure nothing is wrong. Hiei acts no different.

"Safe?" Kurama double-checking.

"Safe." Hiei reassures him with a nod.

"It's black." Yu fin finally downs the shots and looks up. "ALRIGHT............ THEIR NAKED AGAIN. LET THE PARTY BEGIN."

"3 2 1" Kurama counts down. KA- WHACK. Yusuke smacks the table in a snore.

"I saw you give those boys your drink." Suzie teasingly scolds Kook.

"So."

"Do you really think that is going to work? It hasn't worked yet and you have been doing it for two years."

"Negative, Negative, Suzie have faith one day it will work and I will know my true prince." Suzie busts out laughing. "SHUT UP SUZIE. You just wait one day it will work and you will eat your words."

"Yeah, Yeah I know." Suzie brushes her off. "Hey tell me one thing."

"WHAT." Kook still somewhat snappy.

"Witch one do you like......... Drool Boy?" Suzie teases Kook.

"Funny, Funny." Kook disappears in the crowd.

"This night is a little more bearable now that Yusuke has passed out." Hiei teases his unknowing friend.

"Oh Hiei," Kurama giggles. "You know as well as anyone you can't EVER count Yusuke out."

"Humph."
